PM staffers case on tomorrow

HARARE magistrate Anita Tshuma has postponed the trial of four officials from Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s office accused of breaching the Official Secrets Act, possessing articles for criminal use and impersonating the police to tomorrow because the presiding magistrate Tendai Mahwe was not available.

Thabani Mpofu, Mehluli Tshuma, Felix Matsinde and a former Harare councillor Warship Dumba, who all work in Tsvangirai’s research and development office, were arrested on March 17.

They were later released on $500 bail each after High Court judge Justice Chinembiri Bhunu overruled the magistrates’ court’s decision against granting them bail.
